I think side scoops Porsche style to cool the rear brakes would be cool, of course on the porsche those scoops feed the engine...I stuck my arm all the way down the side of a 911 i think it was. If you had a killer competition sound system with a super hot amplifier you could like cool that with a roof scoop. You could cool your fuel to make it more dense. Maybe someone could put another engine in the back of the FB and make it 4 wheel drive like this twin engine Hyundai I saw...now that would be fast in a straigt line atleast, and offroad too!!

...like I always go out of my way to drive in the rain.

Will you take pictures of this ? I'm not saying I doubt you or anything, but I just think that something so UNIQUE and INGENIUS would have already been like FEATURED in Motor Trend or Road & Track or get a J.D.Power award or even make the bleedin' cover of Popular Science. You Know ?

i know, instead of venting it to the back of your neck, vent it through the seats, you can make a modified seat, (i know we all have extra torn up fb seats). Now seriously what get the most uncomfortable during a long trip...

come on, you know! Your crotch!! Thats right, vents to your nuts, how cool would that be.

Patent it, sell it, call it Nut Kewl or something like that...

Oh god .... i love this forum. Thats the craziest idea ... but i think that best idea for that is underneath vented seats. Kinda like bicycle seats where they have air vents in the bottom. scoop the air from underneat the seat. that would be the best idea.


Humm actually talking about that, that is probably the best idea for all you guys in florida, california where all the nice weather is, extra cooling and still not having the weight of an a/c unit.

um the mr2 has the scoop coming from it because it is an MR car with the engine in the back so it can get cooling. If this is what you are talking about, then you gotta realize that the 7's motor is convieniently located in the front of the car. WHAT A CONCEPT!

No, Man... think OUTSIDE the box. Cut Fred Flintstone holes in the floorboard and cool whatever you want. ( and no more tow trucks home ).

I actually considered trying to make a venturi effect cigarette smoke/ash/butt vent so the smell and ashes and lastly the butt could be sucked beneath the car (to keep windows up) but I didn't want to blow myself up, get a 500 ticket for littering, or make either the old Indian or Smokey the Bear cry.
